[Vibrant General] Jon C:
Yeah, I really love the idea of xda and the amount of support that all of these devices receive from the community. Of course, the trouble is: if you root for a custom rom - even if it's stock Android - the N1 is the only solution for getting OTA updates regularly. With stock Android on the Galaxy S, you're going to have to re-flash every time the ROM is updated. Not the end of the world, but definitely irritating.

Running a JB/Unlocked iPhone, I'm used to dealing with work-arounds, and waiting for hacks. That's the price I paid for using a non-carrier phone. I couldn't accept the automatic updates from Apple, and this became a mild annoyance (reinstalling everything and so forth). But when you decide to 'play nice' and own a carrier-specific phone, you kind of want the experience of timely OTA, non-hacking-related updates that simply update your device, without first wiping it clean.

Know what I mean?

I'm still not sure if I'm going to keep my Galaxy S, or buy an N1 while there's still time (the 'rumors'? of the N1's touchscreen issues are really all that held me back). But either way, I hope that all devices have some way to experience the latest and greatest from Google.
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
The touchscreen is bad on that phone especially when it comes to multitouch. I'm sure you've already seen the videos comparing the two touchpads and the Vibrant's touchscreen is SO accurate... multitouch included.
[Vibrant General] speoples20:
While its a little early to be 100% yet but Android hacking is a lot different than iphone hacking. The iphone is a closed system and you have to wait till its broken open to update. Android is already open when its released. As for OTAs if Cyanogen supports the Vibrant then there is an app to download and install new updates. Typically if you stay with the same developer, like Cyanogen, then you don't have to wipe when there are updates.
[Vibrant General] androidaddict23:
After froyo 2.2 all my touch screen problems was gone.
[Vibrant General] androidaddict23:
So untrue after froyo 2.2 those problems was fix the nexus one is a awsome phone.and I believe the same for the vibrant.
[Vibrant General] Jon C:
Can you do me the world's biggest favor?

Would you make some YouTube videos, showing the multitouch tests of your N1? I so, so, so, would love to own one, but I have zero tolerance for faulty hardware. I've been researching this stuff since the N1 launch, and it's the only thing holding me back from purchasing that device.

'Multitouch Vis Test' is probably the easiest way, but if you can think of others to test with, that would be great.
[Vibrant General] [hfm]:
I haven't used my iPod Nano 4th Gen in some time, I find that the N1 is handling my music needs just fine. But if I had a nickel for every time album art was hosed on my iPod Nano I would not have a mortgage anymore...
[Vibrant General] psychoace:
First you must know that the process is completely different. For right now most roms are installed through the Odin process. This process completely wipes all of the information on the phone (including apps and settings) and then installs the new rom. So you will have to backup your apps and settings every time you change roms (Titanium backup would work but it's not always fool proof). Second all roms are going to be based off of Samsung code. That means no Sense roms, no stock roms (well you can get the stock launcher but your dialer and notification bar will always be touchwized), and no froyo until Samsung releases there own version. This has been true so far with all previous Samsung phones and looking at the development with the I9000 it seems to hold true for the Galaxy S. All this does put you at less risk of bricking your phone but it does mean you also have less chance of serious customization. Also with limited source code for the I9000 (there are some drivers that are not source code but actually compiled) it's very difficult to just plop roms on from other sources.
[Vibrant General] hah2110:
Why can't CM do his thing?
[Vibrant General] blazewit:
cm is trying to port cyanogen to the vibrant. in fact ive read that the vibrant and the droid x are his 2 top priorities so it will come soon enough. and once he gets it done we will probibly see a bunch of roms based of cyanogen
[Vibrant General] psychoace:
I have yet to see any information confirming any of that. First on his twitter he only seems to be working on the Evo right now. Second I doubt he would work on the Droid x until it's rooted (which most likely will be never). Last I have seen only a small pattern of talk about someone in conversation with Cyanogen about allowing a Galaxy branch of the CM code for use with the Galaxy S. Problem is this doesn't solve the issue of not having source code for a few drivers. This does not even attack the issue of getting the rom onto the phone. So don't hold your breath for any of that.
[Vibrant General] blazewit:
yea your right it was just one site claiming that cm is working on the vibrant,from what i can tell gothdroid and a bunch of other g1/dream devs are working right now for custom recovery and porting cm6 and froyo asop
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wormbaby11:
The nexus one failed to unlock, and locked me out permanently. I used ADB shell to defeat it. Now although my phone is no longer locked. when I check my security setting. Every thing on it is still hightlighted as if it has a set pattern. Is there a way to reset it? I'm afraid to use the change pattern setting, since I don't remember the pattern anymore. Please Help. Thanks.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flippy125:
Try backing everything up and resetting all your settings. May I ask what adb shell command you used for this?

EDIT: If it was a pattern lock why didn't you just use your google account to reset it? This completely disables it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wormbaby11:
I used this. The reason I didn't use google account reset is because of the bug that invalid all attempt to reset using google account.

How do I reset my setting?

> ./adb shell

# sqlite3 data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db

sqlite> update system set value=0 where name='lock_pattern_autolock';

sqlite> update system set value=0 where name='lockscreen.lockedoutpermanently';

sqlite> .exit

# exit
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bpm2000:
is there an update to this by chance? Note you CANNOT use your google login credentials to reset a lock pattern - the bug still exists.

I was able to get out of the lock screen via mobile defense but I want to go back in and get rid of it completely and reset it - any idea how?

thx
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diversificationied:
That 5 tries bug is no longer there. I successfully unlocked the phone with my credentials a few weeks ago.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bpm2000:
Its definitely still there - like I said I had this problem today and it wouldn't accept my credentials.

also, "null" does not work.

thx
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryjabo:
You're rooted, right?

I'm sorry if this is a stupid question... but can't you shut the phone off, boot into recovery, wipe, then flash the ROM again?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stuff:
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Don't be so quick to say that the "bug" is "definitely still there."

I literally just locked myself out, used my gmail username and password, and it had me immediately draw a new pattern. So there's no such bug on my device..
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diversificationied:
the bug was on 2.1 and fixed with 2.2.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bpm2000:
I could definitely do that - I just wanted to preserve all my stuff without having to wipe.

That is great stuff - now did you list your ROM? I'm still on 2.1 like I said, and I *just* had this problem a day or two ago, so for some of us, the problem still exists. I didn't say anywhere it exists on 2.2 or that it exists for everyone now did I? Reading comprehension, its good stuff :).

A quick look on the google bug reports would also note that this bug still exists for a great many number of users.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
The bug was fixed in 2.2, and the assumption is that you should already be running 2.2 by now, since it has a ton of advantages and not one disadvantage over 2.1. Nobody's going to bother fixing the bug for the old version of OS, slowly being phased out.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bpm2000:
Man when did xda get so uppity?

I am not going to run 2.2 yet - CM isn't out yet other than RC and I do not run stock. There are plenty of people who do this. If you're not one of them, don't worry about it and leave the question alone. If you are, and you figured out how to bypass, then please let us know. There are plenty of reasons to be running 2.1 CM/custom ROM over 2.2 stock.

Jack I hope you're on the latest Droid btw, I mean with your line of thinking you should have it right? Why are you in the N1 forum?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diversificationied:
Whose being uppity? The bug is part of 2.1, the bug was fixed and implemented in 2.2.

Bug prevents you from unlocking phone, the solution is factory reset, or update to 2.2.

So....
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bpm2000:
Wow.

Lets state it one more time so people get it - bug is still present on 2.1 and fixed on 2.2

Google Account locked

when i use this command >adb -d shell but it has message "device not found" . i set up the phone driver already. pls help me!!!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigDamHero:
To be honest I wouldn’t even assume that it was definitely fixed in 2.2. It was inconsistent on 2.1. I actually pointed it out on the general board when I first got my Nexus One (not long after it was released) and I got the “uppity brigade” replying and telling me I was wrong and there was no bug because they couldn’t reproduce it.

Out of interest - has anyone got proof it was fixed in 2.2? Aside from the fact it doesn’t happen on your specific phone (which you know… congrats, but anecdotal evidence is useless). I assume its in a android changelog or similar?

bpm2000 – wish I had an answer but I ended up wiping my phone in the end. Didn’t even know about the ADB method back then. Sorry can’t be of more help. Its an incredibly annoying bug and one that was known about and should have been fixed long before the Nexus and 2.1 came out.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bpm2000:
That is frustrating to hear BDH, I tried the adb stuff when it happened looking through the google support boards but I always got stuck on the:

sqlite>

portion and it would never register the commands for some reason. I was lucky that I had set up remote lock/unlock with mobile defense or else I would have had to wipe as well.

Thanks for the relevant reply.

Hey guys, I was able to snap a quick picture of the case that a store I went to was selling. Seems to be different than what I've heard from others, but this what I was able to get a hold of. Sorry for the quality, it was taking on my dying Moto Q9h.
[Captivate Accessories] systoxity:
was thata hard case? How much for it?
[Captivate Accessories] rob989_69:
There were two at the store I went to, they had a Carbon looking gel case for $24.95 (Looks like the one pictured above) and another, I think it was plastic, clear case for $29.95 Almost bought the gel but I want to wait for Seidio to come out with theirs.
[Captivate Accessories] NOSintake:
That one was $29.95, and it definitely looked plastic from what I could tell, so that lines up with that second one you were saying.
[Captivate Accessories] TexUs:

The rubber one i got at the att store was a black rubber Body Glove brand. it does the trick for 24.99. i got the half off deal (12.50) on accessories for being a premier account holder through my work.
[Captivate Accessories] sl8125:
post up some pics. i want to see. is this rubberized skin material or snap on plastic?
[Captivate Accessories] systoxity:
i also went with the rubber one and must say it feels excellent. i wish they had screen protectors in stock tho :(
[Captivate Accessories] LGSilva:
Did the same thing. My friend got the T-Mobile version phone and the screen protectors they have make the screen look grainy.

I will wait for bestskinsever or some other company to make them, until then I must be very careful with it.
[Captivate Accessories] magicdanw:
I got the rubber gel case - looks nice, is very thin, doesn't add much bulk at all, and feels good in the hand. If you want to listen to music with the device's speaker, you can put it face-down so the speaker isn't muffled, and the case keeps the screen from touching the tabletop surface. I'd recommend it!
[Captivate Accessories] systoxity:
guys i hope you didnt throw away that screenprotector that came pre-applied to the phone. You know, the really annoying one that reads: Texting n Driving, it can wait...

So thats a pretty good cover right? Looks like it doesn't degrade image quality at all.. Got me to thinking, man this would be ideal if it didn't have these huge dumb letters over the whole screen.

So I bust out some acetone (nail polish remover) and a q tip. I soaked the head of the q tip and rubbed it over the letters on the screen protector. Re applied acetone to the q tip a few times in the process. I let the acetone sit on the letters for about 30 seconds and then wiped it off with a cotton wipe. Be careful when rubbing it off so that it doesn't runoff the screen protector onto the edge of the screen. ie: dont wipe, soak it up. I waited about 10 min after drying it off with that cotton ball and then used my nail to scratch off the letters. I had to re apply acetone once more on tough spots but now i have a free good looking screen protector to hold me over :).
[Captivate Accessories] jiayi345:
I bought the Body Glove case. As someone else stated it doesn't add much bulk at all and fits pretty snug against the phone. I actually dropped my phone this morning while rushing to work. It fell to the concrete, hit the corners, and then landed on the face. Luckily the case is a tad bit raised from the screen not allowing the screen to impact. No damage to the phone and the case has one tiny scratch.

[Captivate Accessories] TexUs:

black striped body glove is the good one.

wont let me post link but

this is great for face protection
[Captivate Accessories] Truceda:
I have the clear hard case. The fit is really REALLY snug, so if you plan on removing the battery/SIM card/SD card often, I'd look for another cover. Seems like it will do a good job of protecting the phone. I was a bit concerned that the gel cover may loosen up over time and not want to stay on. My last few phones were sliders, so I'm new to cases.
[Captivate Accessories] AllTheWay:
I also have the body glove case for the Captivate. I really like the case and for $25 it's a lot cheaper then most cases at AT&T. Fits on the real snug. Will post pics later.
[Captivate Accessories] TexUs:
Where'd you get it? If you didn't get it at the ATT Store, I don't see it on their website?
[Captivate Accessories] jiayi345:
I got it from the ATT store. When I bought the captivate they didn't even have the phone on display yet. While I was doing the upgrade they setup the unit and two cases. One was the Body Glove and the other was a hard clear plastic case.

[Captivate Accessories] DarkVasyaK:
Advise me, how this phone better feels in hand, with this Body Glove case or without it? I prefer captivate instead of Samsung Galaxy S, because of its metallic back, so will I be disappointed with this case?)

[Captivate Accessories] TexUs:
Never been a fan of the clear cases.

Is the BodyGlove case hard plastic? Is there like a rubber lining or anything?

And how does it attach, if I throw it across the room, is it secure or will it open up?
[Captivate Accessories] bird333:
I've got the BodyGlove. It is rubber/gel. You just stretch it over the phone. It seems to fit well I like it. I just need to be get a screen protector now.
[Captivate Accessories] robstunner:
The best part (i have this one as well) is that its a gel/silicone/rubber/w.e. But on the backside it is fairly smooth. This makes it very easy to slide in and out of your pocket.
[Captivate Accessories] Drunknig:
The clear hard plastic case is way too tight! It's a 2nd piece construction and it's near impossible to remove your top. It works for now but the moment and better case comes along this one is in the trash. I'm dead seriously when I say you will have to break the case to get it off.
[Captivate Accessories] cbk.o4:
LOL, I purchased the hard clear plastic INCIPIO case from my local ATT store 3 days ago. It is a very snug fitting case which I love, what is the point of having a loose fitting case. I have had NO issues whatsoever removing the case from the phone. To get it on you will have to start both pieces and use two hands to slide them together to get it to flush fit, and when I go to remove it i just hold the top section and remove the bottom first then the top. It was not difficult at all.

Either way I just wanted a hard case and screen protector (still looking for a decent protector, most universals I have found locally are 3x4.125 which is too small unless i use 2). Btw the INCIPIO has a year warrenty and the lady that sold it to me was pretty cool, said if they get new cases in that I like better she would just make a warrenty claim and I can switch it to whatever case I want.

[Captivate Accessories] V DidDy 210:
I have the body glove one and because the rep put it on when I got the phone, the phone actually feels weird without it.

and its funny because I've always bought cases but this is the first one that fits so naturally and smoothly that it feels like a natural extension of the phone.

besides, while the metal door looks nice it certainly does not feel nice. its too rough on the hands and the galaxy s logo is kind of sharp!

the body glove is the way to go and if you were lucky to get it with the phone, most reps (mine atleast) throw it in with the phone. so I got phone, and case and car charger for 100 bucks!

[Captivate Accessories] smeltn:
OH wow that one looks fantastic
[Captivate Accessories] breley:
+1 for the Body Glove. it is quite unobtrusive, protects the phone well, and the slightly raised ridges help with the grip.

Personally, I like the fact that the BG doesn't cover the top logo/sensor/speaker portion since this seems like it would make getting the glove off that much harder and potentially more prone to become less snug via stretching. Just my 2 cents.
[Captivate Accessories] smeltn:
I love the back logo though... I want a case where you can see the Galaxy S logo.

Awesome. I'm dying for a case/belt clip and decent screen protector for this.
[Captivate Accessories] asrrin29:
I just stopped off at my local AT&T Corporate store and got the Body Glove for 24.95. It's not your usual rubber gel casing. It fits and stretches like a gel casing, but the rubber is solid and smooth like a hard plastic case. It's the best of both worlds in my opinion.

They also had screen protectors! a three pack for $9.99, making them cheaper than the online store I was going to buy from. These are non adhesive and go on very cleanly, and leave little cutouts for the speaker and sensors.
[Captivate Accessories] NOSintake:
So the AT&T screen protectors are good? I'm looking into a screen protector (to replace this txting and driving "screen protector"), and would love to be able to pick one up from a store instead of waiting for delivery
